His stock of ladies' and gents watches is
very large and he is offering all his custom.

scarlet Women Attend the Services
at the Burial of a Little Child.
The Last of Three.
Not far from the richly furnished quart
ers where fallen women ply their shameful
trade, stands small implanted and dilapi-
dated house on Eagle street, where lives the
widowed sister of the keeper of leading
resort in the neighborhood. The air
ON the flats is foul with the germs
OF disease. A week ago three
children played about the dirty yard and
looked with childish wonder at the piles of
brick and mortar. where sat in luxurious
ease the painted creatures OF passion. Yes
terday the last of the three, bright-eyed
girl of ). was buried. In one short week
the care-wOrn mother saw her three
babes sieken and die with measles.
She was not alone in her
watch. for the fallen sister came and knelt
with her rustling silks in the sQualor of the
wretched tfappings of poverty. Remem-
bering their girlhood, perhaps, the two
wept together. The coffin in which the
wasted figure of the child lay yesterday,
was little in keeping with the surround
ings. Rev. Robert Christie came to
preach the funeral sermon. Gathered
close about the bier in the darkened room
stood score of scarlet women. Not one
but kissed the marble lips and laid floral
tribute down beside the coffin. And when
she good man told in simple words the
truths of death and life the tears washed
the powder from many brazen cheek. And
when the coffin was lifted into the
white hearse. it was followed to
the grave by long procession

TWELVE MEN AT LAST.

After q Six-Days' Struggle a Jury
rs secured in the Meade Murder
Trial.
At five minutes past IL o'clock yesterday
morning, just six days from the hour that
the first Juror in the Meade trial was sworn,
the twelfth man went into the jury box.
He hailed from White Bear, gave his name
as ii. S. Chase and said he was III the real
estate business. He said he had read of the
case but had paid but little attention to II
and had no prejudiceS in the matter. The
challenge of actual bias was submitted to
The triers. who decided the challenge not
good.
I'VE challenge the man peremptorily, said
Mr.. Erwin.
do you mean TO make the point that you
have not exhausted your peremptory chal-
Ienges?" asked Judge Brill.
NO sir, we do not" replied Senator Davis,
but there are facts regarding this eXamina-
ton that we wish 10 go on record
The court rules that you have no right TO
challenge this man peremptoriiy," said the
judge.
I'VE take exceptions to the ruling of the
court" quietly said the senator.
The Juror will be sworn said the judge,
and minute later he was one OF the twelve.
Everybody felt better. Mr.. Erwin stood

the reporters and asked them to congratu-
late him.
1t has taken six long, weary days to Sc
ieet these twelve men, and during this time
the same questions have been asked on an
average of once IN five minutes. What
wonder then that the air was thick with
monotony? The sheriff has during this
time reported 500 talesmen, out of which
the attorneys could select but twelve who,
in their estimation, were fair, Impartial
men, capable of rendering just verdict in
a case OF so much Importance.
Following is list OF the jurors:
Stanley H. Watson, publisher of the Daily
Hotel Reporter.
August c. Dornfeld, grain and commission
merchant.
William Long. White Bear Lake, farmer.
Charles II. Gallagher, White Bear, carpen-
Ter.
John Getty, W hite Bear. telegraph opera

John Doyle. laborer.
Fred Il. Bunemann, grocer.
John J. DonuOhue, carpenter.
Patrick Kelly, jr., Stonenason.
X. II. BoXell, collector.
W. Il. Johnson, carpenter.
H. S. Chase. real estate dealer.
The attorneys in the case asked the Judge
10 adjourn court until Monday morning at
lOo'clOck, and, after admOnishng the jury
10 refrain from conyersing with any one re-
garding the case. he declared the court adj
ourned until the hour mentioned Monday
morning.

is that hackneyed theme, ''stuck in snow
drift A party of three or four locomo-
tive engineers sat on the veganda of the
Merchants the other day, where the warm
sun kept their eyes blinking. and between
the vigorous squirting of tobacco juice at Il
friendly pillar. exchanged friendly remin-
iscences of the indefinite period ''some
time ago." The last man, of course. had
the bulge on his fellows. He was lank,
gawkish looking individual. who had
listened attentively while they spun out
yarn after yarn. He pulled his feet down
under him, and they all turned his way
when he drew long sigh and began:

dent ever happened to me was way back in

snow came up. an by night blizzard was
| ragin'. Started to back up to Their last sta
ton, hut it was no go, for the snow had piled
in behind US. The only thing was to try an
push on to the next station ahead. My head
lamp was out, an you couldn't see from the
Gao as far as yer mana. Inere WAS plenty o
coal and water and we had on IA big head O
steam, an pulled her open wide an just
sat back to wait whar we'd git. Johnny, the

seemed to be maxim big Roadway. In about
an hour l looked out, eXpectin' to see lights

ers was whifling round, but that was all.
We kept watchin' out for signs Of somethin'
and the thing went on that way all night.
The mornin broke, an the storm let up
summat, an shut off steam an got off to

sign of anythin'-not even the track, an we
seemed to be planted out there in the middle
of an endless field O. snow. / tramped back

and poked out breathn' space with fire

SCHOOL nOAKn CONTRACTS.
Rumo rs That the Ventiiating Work
viii stir Up the Animals in "A
0uiefSOrt of Way.

If the minors that float about the streets
are not wide of the facts, there is another
disseusion between some members of the
board of education and the contractors who
have been submitting BIDS for improve
mentS OH school houses. This time il is
over the contract for steam heating the
Franklin. jefferson and Madison schools.
The bids for this work were sent into the
board and opened at the meeting last Mon
day night. as published in the GLOBE of
Tuesday morning. They were referred,
along with the bids for additions to several
school buildings. TO the committee on real
estate. Some surprise was manifested that
no report was made Oh the bids for venti-
iating at the board meeting on Friday
night. Some of the contractors who had
submitted bids say that the commit
tee considered these last named bids
and came to a small-siZed war over them.
A representative of Holland IL Thompson.
who submitted bid on the ventilating.
said to GLOBE reporter yesterday thar
several of the committee were in favor of
awarding his firm the contract, as he
claimed it had sent in the lowest bid.
Among those who wanted the contract 10
go to the lowest bidder, he said. were Mr..
Postlethwaite and DR.. Sch!tfmann, while
Mr.. Ellis wanted to give the contract to a
tirm whose bld was higher. and who would
use a kind of iron not manufactured
in St. Paul. If this were done it would
dave the effect of giving local work to for
eign workmen. ~
Maj. Postelthwate was asked by a
GLOBE reporter to explain the situation
yesterday, but he said it would not be the
proper thing for him to give Out any of the
committees actions or discussions for pub
icatiun until it had been submitted to the
board Of education.
Inspector Ellis was asked last night in
regard to the steam heating dispute. He
seemed greatly surprised when the matter
was brought to his notice. He said that
the only ones who had put in any bids at
all were Messrs. Osborne. Kelly, Holland
x Thompson, Parmalee and Rogers 4
Davis. all St. Paul firms. Further than
that, he said there had been no thought of
letting the contract to Eastern firms. in
fact. that the bids already received had not
been considered and would not be until a
meeting of the committee next week. As
far as he was concerned, he was in favor of
patfonizing home industries and he should
do all in his power to have the contract let
TO local firm.

1ONCERTs IN THE PARK.
Summit Park TO be the Center of At
fractiOMs Instead of Central.

Owing to the unfinished condition of
Central park and the surrounding streets,
the project of giving public concerts there
this summer has been abandoned, and Sum-
nit park taken up it its place. A subscrip-
ton list has been circulated among the
residents around the park and vicinity and
has been met with very favorable re-
spouse, so much so that it is safe to say
the concerts are assured for Thursday even
ings for the season. The location OF Sum-
nit park and Surrounding avenues are so
attractive that with the aid of first. class
band. open air concerts on the evenings in
question can be made the most ENJOYABLE
outdoor entertainments during the season.
